I think I've found the real source of the problem: a 'missing' media audio controller. I believe what happened last night was that in trying to set my audio right, I clicked on the SoundMax icon only to get the message that it was not present. I found this odd, since i saw the icon pinned to the start menu, present on my all programs menu as well as located in the control panel. No matter where I tried to open it, no interface came up. So... I, unwisely I should say now, removed it from my programs! Now, I'm having a time finding the right media audio controller and the correct drivers. Frustrating, doubly so because I brought this on myself. Again, any advice or help would be peachy, mon!Thanks for whatever you could do, 'k? Hey, Will,

But, you should be sure you have a compatible operating system (of course), and a 32-bit OS/chip if necessary, as well as enough RAM (over 1.5GB of course). Other then that, MediaMonkeey only skips ovr tracks if it is unable to read the tracks or if they are not in the proper location. You should also make sure your tracks are in the proper, playable format (mp3, wav, flac, etc) and that you have set proper permissions to each application, etc. There could always be a problem with the registry, in which case, the only fix is usually to re-install the operating system.

Let me give you as full a picture as possible:first of all, I didn't see any error messages, nor did I hear any sounds. I don't know if my choice of media to test is the problem here: c.d.s. I haven't completed my task of committing all my c.d.s to the digital side of things as yet. This was quite the strangest thing for me to experience, I mean, nothing, absolutely nothing responded when I tried to operated controls on Media Jukebox and MediaMonkey. With Quintessential, I opened it again and tried to get just the web radio functional and nothing. It's controls seemed frozen and unresponsive too. In MediaMonkey, the c.d. I used wasn't a burn, but the genuine article, the program read it and identified each track and yet, when I clicked on 'play now', nothing but silence and a rolling over of the track titles. With Quintessential, the radio allows you to choose a station, but then when you click on play selected station, nothing but silence and the entire screen just freezes.No kidding! I just did that little experiment again and guess what? Now the screen won't even minimize. It seems to have locked up, or trying to lock up everything. I just don't get it. I do hope you can give advice quickly. It's frustrating! Hello, Will and thanks for the response.

Tell us, is there an error message, do you not hear sound, etc. Just saying that an application is "sorry not working" does not help us to address your problem.

Currently, I'm using winamp. My guitar teacher uses a Mac and he has a nice player called Finetunes, by S'Sworks that allows for placing bookmarks in music files from where you can resume play. Switching between these bookmarks is really fast and the player does not have the annoying fade-in/out when you press play or stop, respectively. Any suggestions for music players (only music, no video). Oh, I almost forgot, the link to that Finetunes player is the following: <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/seishu/ssworks/finetunes/finetunes.html" rel="nofollow">http://homepage.mac.com/seishu/ssworks/finetunes/finetunes.html</a> I am selecting a new player for music.
